More tips for avoiding an argument: Not every argument should be "won".
A new year brings some new Tuesday Tips and over the next few weeks, I am going to share some tips for avoiding an argument.
Tip #3 for avoiding an argument: Not every argument should be "won".
Sometimes we are so focused on being right or winning the argument that we lose sight of what is really important: the relationship! We should pick our battles. Is it really of great consequence that our best friend doesn't find value in our favorite book or TV show?
Being able to share our thoughts and ideas with our friends and relatives is a precious gift from God. It gives us a chance to get to know each other better, to hear new ideas... Once someone feels as if you have condemned them for sharing their ideas, they will be less likely to do so next time.
There are enough important arguments in this world to be won. Some things are better left for us to agree to disagree.
